PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. High-Load Linear Stage V-817

With the V-817, PI has a linear stage in its portfolio for industrial solutions that has a high load capacity and high dynamics. Its design is consistently geared to demanding industrial conditions and it is characterized by high stiffness and the use of high-quality components: Recirculating ball bearing guides, 3-phase linear motor, incremental linear encoder. The high resolution of the encoders allows an excellent tracking performance, small tracking errors, and short settling times. Industry-compatible connectors offer a fast and secure connectivity. The optional motion platform offers versatile assembly options with a triple M6 hole pattern. A particularly low overall height is achieved without this platform, which offers advantages especially in XY combinations.

Linear motor with direct drive

3-phase magnetic direct drives do not use mechanical components in the drivetrain, they transmit the drive force to the motion platform directly and without friction. The drives reach high velocities and accelerations. Ironless motors are particularly suitable for positioning tasks with the highest demands on precision because there is no undesirable interaction with the permanent magnets. This allows smooth running even at the lowest velocities and at the same time, there is no vibration at high velocities. Nonlinearity in control behavior is avoided and any position can be controlled easily. The drive force can be set freely.

Fully integrated multi-axis systems

The V-817 linear stages are perfectly suited for being integrated into complex systems. Therefore, PI offers integrated XY or XYZ multi-axis systems with the suitable controller as well as accessories such as a granite base, machine frame, mounting adapter, cable set, and appropriate software support.
